IMO Bruce is the only guy we have that can start 155+ games without seeing much need for a day off. To me Votto and Phillips should have 2 scheduled days off each month from June on with 1 each in April and May. That would give them 152 starts and they could PH. I believe Votto is so intense that it really weighs on him. Neither had an ASB and Votto has more lapses than any superstar I can remember.

Choo is doing well holding up.....hopefully he can maintain through the last 5 weeks and then also the playoffs.

Good call Dusty. I was just commenting on this the other day. Long overdue for Jay to get a day off. Hopefully Dusty gave him those instructions "don't even dress...don't even THINK about baseball". A true day off.

What I wouldn't have done is give Frazier the day off as well. 1, not both.

He needs to be dressed and ready for a potential role very late in the game if needed.

Why even keep stats. Completely ridiculous. 100% error

That play was more of a hit than the one they awarded Bruce later in the game. Phillips had to make a VERY quick transfer to even have a shot at him. I thought Brandon's was an error, but close enough to go either way.
